Alila Bangsar Hotel, Kuala Lumpur
Expert reviews
“Having established its brand in Bali, Alila has opened one of KL’s most appealing new hotels. The pared-back design, integrating concrete, wood and plenty of plants, suits the tropics and there are great views from the spacious rooms, which run between the 35th and 40th floors.”
“The Alila Bangsar looms over the low-rises of Brickfields and Bangsar like a giant black domino. The fresh white and teak wood interiors look like they’ve been pulled straight from Pinterest and there’s an excellent restaurant and ravishing rooftop swimming pool too.”

All you need to know
Perched high above one of Kuala Lumpur’s most bustling districts, Alila Bangsar merges cutting-edge, minimalist aesthetics with an abundance of natural light, verdant foliage and remarkable vistas, creating a peaceful urban haven.
The serene white interiors of Alila Bangsar provide a striking counterpoint to its smooth, dark exterior. This contrast enhances the sense of calm amidst the district’s lively retail, gastronomic, leisure, and nocturnal scenes.
Conveniently connected to Bangsar LRT Station, Alila Bangsar is also just 1.2 miles from NU Sentral and KL Sentral train stations.
Boasting design by Neri&Hu, the hotel’s modern air-conditioned rooms are equipped with a desk and a flat-screen TV. Select rooms come with a balcony. En-suite bathrooms are fitted with shower amenities. Guests are granted access to the Alila Living Room on each floor for complimentary refreshments.
Botanica+Co delights guests with its international and Asian fare served all day, while Entier presents French gastronomy led by a Japanese Michelin-starred chef. The rooftop bar is the perfect spot for enjoying refreshments and drinks.

Overall excellent
Beautiful, spacious and clean modern room, great restaurant on-site and room service, lovely views of the city
The loungers in the pool area are not good for sitting on, as they don’t have a proper backrest. Also no one on the pool bar, it was a self-service via a telephone, would be good to have someone there serving drinks

Peaceful
We live the calm atmosphere of the Alila. We very much appreciated the upgrade, though I do think that some areas of our suite needed attention. The rug, curtains and grout around the tiling all appeared a little grubby and worn.

Toilet paper is too rough and not very environmentally friendly. The lift to the ground floor from level 41 does not have any air ventilation. Slow and stuffy.

Alila is a beautiful hotel with stunning views. Our room was massive with a sitting area, desk, mini-fridge, kettle, and all the amenities we needed. The 40th floor pool was gorgeous and located within a nearly enclosed roof, ensuring lots of shade during the brutally hot afternoons. The location is perfect with a connecting walkway to the Bangsar LRT.

Modern hotel with comfortable stays and attentive staff
Accessible location in Bangsar. Property feels fairly new/renovated. Good in room and common facilities. Spacious rooms (ours had 1 king and 1 sofa bed, so can fit 3 adults easily). Comfy beds, relaxing shower/bathroom area, ample storage. Staff were very attentive and tried their best to accommodate our request of having our rooms near each other. Staff at Botanica restaurant was super! Nice breakfast and decent dinner option too. Overall very happy with Alila Bangsar.

Peace and Quiet Luxury Stay within KL City
- Room is cozy and well designed. - High floor with awesome city view and non-existent noise from traffic - Awesome staff especially the reception team - Rare find of peace and quiet hotel within crowded city area
- Nearby convenient store require some walking distance and route quite dark, but overall location wise is great.

Wonderful stay
The rooms have an amazing view. Breakfast is great, but the host at breakfast is exceptional. His energy is wonderful, and absolutely puts a smile on your face when you get to meet him.
I wish the pool was open air, but the views from it are gorgeous

Pure luxury but eat outside.
The pure luxury it offers The room and bathroom space is so nice and comfortable The bed is to die for.
The food is the only hiccup in this hotel The selection for the western pallet is very limited Apart from the egg section the rest on offer leaves a lot to be desired.

At first, I didn't know what to make of the Alila. However, after a few nights, I really started to appreciate how private it is. Being on the 41st floor, tucked away in Bangar, it's exactly what I needed. Privacy!!!
Nothing major, a suana, steam room would have been the icing on the cake ✌️

Modern and sleek place with good value for money
rooms are modern and minimalistic. spacious, clean and has everything you need. The pool area and other facilities are well maintained.
The way lifts are setup. It’s bit of inconvenience to use multiple lifts just to go to ground floor

Simply love the cosy and boutique feel of the hotel. Less crowd and away from the bustling shopping belt. The whole design of the hotel is just splendid! The bonus was the coffee & snack corner at the lift lobby of our floor. Nice place to enjoy the local snack with a cuppa! The view was magnificent!

It was a good stay.

There were folks partying in the hallway on our floor so we complained and also moved to a room On another floor.

Calmness & tranquility I needed.
The reception and pool area is beautifully done. I feel a sense of calmness and tranquility when I am there.
The surrounding neighbourhood looks rather run down. But that’s ok, I GRAB everywhere I go.

Just as we have expected. Good.
Like the room and the balcony. View is quite good too. Staff are well trained.
Balcony can be improved by having a roof/cover rather than open to the sky, as it doesn't work when it rains. Also it is not well cleaned on the balcony.

The facilities were excellent overall, staff always wonderful. Breakfast offered a wide variety of options, and room service was decent, though not outstanding—I received the wrong order, and unfortunately, I didn't have time to wait for the correct one. The location was convenient since it was directly across from the office, but for sightseeing, you might want to consider staying closer to the city center.
